Which is most of hobbyist 3D printing. Resin printing has its issues, especially with strength

And sheer toxicity. You need fume vents and air quality monitoring for processing resin.

I'm not sure what qualifies as "hobbyist" in your book, but the vast majority of hobby-level printers I've interacted with over the last 5+ years are into MSLA more than FDM. 🤷🏽‍♂️

But it's what anyone into miniatures uses due to much higher details

Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.
